"The artist is the unspoiled core of every man and woman before we are choked by schooling, training, conditioning - until The Artist Within shrivels up and is forgotten." - Frederick Franck

We’re all “unspoiled artists at our core.” Doubtful? Watch a young child, like we used to be, make whimsical, often wonderful, out-of-the-box art from found objects, wire-crayons-dirt-tape-mud-food or your best jewelry. What “choked” your spirit and “shriveled up” your Art? What squelched your creative spirit? Don’t “choke The Artist Within;” refuse to be squelched! Ignite your joy; recall your passion, your inner child-ARTIST will thank you!
